Tukad Cepung Waterfall
Air Terjun Tukad Cepung
A waterfall hidden in a canyon cave. On sunny mornings, sunlight streams through the rock cracks to form 'Tyndall light beams', making it a popular photo stop from Ubud.
Tukad Cepung Waterfall is in Dingkat Village, Bangli Regency. The waterfall falls inside a half-enclosed rock canyon. On sunny mornings, sunlight slants in through openings at the top, and combined with mist it forms beams of light, which social media calls the 'Tyndall light waterfall'. From the ticket counter, the descent by steps takes about 10–15 minutes. The last stretch requires wading through a narrow gorge, so your shoes will get wet; wear sandals or non-slip shoes. Entry is inexpensive. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Ubud, and is often combined with Tirta Empul Temple, the Tegallalang rice terraces, or a route toward Mount Batur. The light beams are not guaranteed, so aim for 9–11 am. After rain, when the water is high, access may be limited.
